    Naseem was a damn good fighter, and most feel Khan is a KO waiting to happen. Both are undersold, neither was overrated.

    Bull ****, how many quality wins did Naseem have? He got exposed in New York the night he decided to dance his way down the ****ing aisle and his glass chin was shown multiple times in his career. Oh the big shot on the other side of the pond never amounted to ****.

    Why do I keep seeing this on this message board:

    "Man _______ was a damn good fighter" YEAH YOU CAN LOOK DOMINANT WHEN YOU CHERRY PICK AND FIGHT BUMS OVER IN THE UK LIKE NASEEM DID.

    Khan has shown he can comeback from the most devastating of losses.

    You cant say the same for Hamed.

    Khan is still developing. Little too early to be making that comparison.

    Is there some way we can get Amir the memo that he's still unproven?

    Neither of them is overrated. Khan is young and still improving and has already proven his many haters wrong winning a belt and being a major player at 140.

    Hamed was a very good fighter, with great power and could deliver his punches from such awkward angles that he was always dangerous. He cleaned out his division and was rightfully ranked the best featherweight. It took an ATG boxer like MAB to beat him, and sure that loss was a bad one, and him not making a rematch looks bad. That is why no-one is considering an upper echelon ATG. He's more known for being the most exciting and flamboyant flyweight in history, and he proved that with the interest and money he generated.

    I can't believe how many dudes on this board buy directly into hype and fail to look at a key component of how good someone is unless their name is Floyd or Manny, and that's COMPETITION and even a lot of the "fans" on here ignore that with Floyd and Manny too or they over rate the competition.

    He also beat Sanchez, Medina, Vasquez, Kelley, and Ingle. Aswell as the other champions he beat. Hard to unify an entire division and call a fighter overrated. I mean he would have held ALL the belts. Meaning THE champion.
